A Governor In Indonesia Is Accused Of Blasphemy; Will Toleration Or Darkness Prevail?

                       A governor in Indonesia has been accused of blasphemy. There are those that thankfully are protesting this absurdity and are calling for tolerance and moderation. But there are also those that indulge in bigotry and hate. One cleric was recorded telling a group of young people how the Jews and Christians cannot be trusted. If Indonesia goes the way of intolerance, it will be a huge blow to humanity. Teaching people to hate other people simply because of what is their religion is the way to war and the dark ages. Indonesia has a history of tolerance and moderation. Hopefully this will not be lost, and the elements in the Islamic world that teach bigotry and hate will not poison Indonesia in the same way that they have poisoned other places. The world needs moderation and tolerance, because without these things, there is no future for Indonesia or the world.
